Recently MoneyMakerInfo.Blogspot.com was detected by the Blogger’s Spam-Prevention Robot as ‘Spam’ and Alan Liew’s blog was deleted by Google permanently, it was a nightmare for Alan who developed the blog for 4 years. 2 days ago his blog was reinstated by Google after Alan sent them an email to explain what was going on and apologized for any unintentional mistakes.

Grizzly from MakeMoneyForBeginners.Blogspot.com wrote an article recently titled “Making Money Online in 2010 – A Facelift” and pointed out some of the possible reasons that made Google removed Alan’s blog, he said that might be something to do with the Adsense optimization for blogger which detected as a Made-For-Adsense (MFA) blog. This might be an interesting lesson that you should learn.
